Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck wins the Alchemist vs Puck matchup: Puck beats Alchemist in 51.35% of 185 ranked matches.
Picking Puck to set the tempo against an Alchemist is a huge gamble. The entire plan relies on shutting the Alchemist down, but Greevil's Greed creates a massive safety net, letting him recover farm even from a difficult lane. Once Alchemist gets his first big item, Puck’s magic burst damage starts to feel insignificant. A well-timed Chemical Rage can shrug off a full combo, and Dream Coil often isn't enough to secure a kill on a target that regenerates so quickly. Alchemist doesn't need to dominate the lane; he only needs to survive it to completely invalidate Puck's mid-game power spike by simply out-farming it.
